Some poems tell a story or describe a certain image in the reader's mind. Others try to convey certain feelings such as joy and. The distinctive characteristics of poetry often include economical use of words, descriptive and vivid language, integrated imagery, devices such as similes and metaphors, arrangement of words, lines,, and rhythm.

Many of us try to change bad habits quickly, and if we are not successful straight, we often become and give up. In fact, the most successful way to change is not suddenly, but over a period of time. the Chinese philosopher Lao Zi wrote, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." One step seems small, but it is essential. To reach the goal of change, a person must show some and repeatedly take many small steps.

To a positive change in our bad habits, we must first our bad habit cycles and then try to adapt them. We can do this combining the information from our habit cycles with our own positive ideas. For example, we could try to replace a routine with something more positive.

For example, some of them may become involved in or alcohol abuse, which can lead to and mental health problems. To prevent harmful habits like these from a teenager's life is essential. They must learn to recognize bad habits early and make appropriate.

A chorus of praise is being sung around Ne Zha 2, the Chinese animated film about a mythical boy who battles demons (恶魔), which has been newly1crowned the world's highest-grossing (最高票房的) animated film.

Since its release, Ne Zha 2 has topped the $2 billion mark at the global box office. It is the first film not made by a Hollywood studio to cross that mark.

The film has2captivated audiences via its rich storytelling and jaw-dropping visuals while featuring themes of defiance, fate, and self-confidence. This3blockbuster hit takes inspiration from Chinese folklore. It's a4purely Chinese animated film, deeply rooted in Chinese cultural heritage. Chinese audiences are willing to support it as a way of promoting domestic (国产的) animation and sharing Chinese culture with the world.

Its success has been considered as a sign of China's advances in filmmaking and the5declining influence of Hollywood in China.

I looked at the manuscript and2 that she hadn't even finished the first chapter. She said if a book didn't3 her within the first few pages, she didn't bother to continue with it. Then she listed4 she wouldn't read rubbish.5, she said, "Fools take criticism and dish it back while the wise take it and turn it to their6"

After my mother left, I read the beginning of Chapter One, boring long paragraphs with nothing to7 me. How could I have8 the obvious? My beginning was9 and detailed because I wanted to introduce the reader to the backstory. But was it attractive? Would my10 readers be more committed than my mother? Probably not. I11.

I learned a valuable lesson that night that never dismiss12 out of hand, because there might be a bit of truth in it. So, it took a rude and depressing13 to make me swallow my pride and look more14 at my novel. I made15 to the first pages, which made a big difference when I submitted the first three chapters to a publisher.

From the water required to maintain the golf course during The Masters tournament to the hundreds of flights it takes to bring football fans to a World Cup, major sports events are not helping much in the fight against global heating. What's more, there is a lack of recognition within sport of its responsibilities and little discussion about possible solutions.

This is strange, given that the effect works both ways: the climate crisis is not just affected by sports, but it is already having a negative impact on many sports. When ice-climber Will Gadd set out to conquer the world's glaciers, he didn't realize it would become a race against climate change. "I thought glaciers are there forever." When he arrived at the summit, Gadd was shocked: "The ice…wasn't there. The things I planned to climb were gone."

Global heating is noticeable in other sports. Amy Steel played professional netball until she suffered from heatstroke after playing in 39℃ conditions and unfortunately, the damage was permanent. Not only that, but extreme weather events made more frequent as a result of global heating mean sporting events are more often delayed or canceled. This has cost sport billions in potential earnings.

Yet sport can be a powerful motivator: it can unite whole nations behind its teams. Could sport have a role to play in driving climate awareness? Will Gadd and Amy Steel are among many athletes who think so? One thing is certain. Sport must put climate change at the top of its agenda and decarbonize at a Usain Bolt-like pace to make a difference.

Up to 40 minutes of"moderate(温和的)to vigorous(有力的)intensity physical activity" every day is about the right amount to balance out 10 hours of sitting still, the research says—although any amount of exercise or even just standing up helps to some extent.

That's based on a study published in 2020 analyzing nine previous studies, involving a total of 44, 370 people in four different countries who were wearing some form of fitness tracker. The analysis found the risk of death among those with a more sedentary(久坐的)lifestyle went up as time spent engaging in moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity went down. In other words, putting in some reasonably intensive activities—cycling, brisk walking, gardening—can lower your risk of an earlier death.

While analyses like this one always require some detailed dot-joining across separate studies with different volunteers, timescales and conditions, the benefit of this particular piece of research is that it relied on relatively objective data from wearables—not data self-reported by the participants.

The research based on fitness trackers is broadly in line with the 2020 WHO guidelines, which recommend 150—300 mins of moderate intensity or 75—150 mins of vigorous intensity physical activity every week to balance out sedentary behaviour.

Walking up the stairs instead of taking the lift, playing with children and pets, taking part in yoga or dancing, doing household chores, walking, and cycling are all put forward as ways in which people can be more active—and if you can't manage the 30—40 minutes right away, the researchers say, start off small.

The group, named Pathway to Poetry, was rooted in poetry therapy and reading therapy, as well as built upon a cognitive (认知的) behavioral framework. Along the way, clients also learned poetic forms and rhetorical devices, such as haiku and metaphor.

The clients in my group all already knew each other; many had known each other for several years. As a result, these clients didn't need to jump through all the hoops of usual group development to share and write about vulnerable (敏感的) topics. I think I was lucky enough to experience group dynamics and social inclusion in this way.

As the group progressed, the writing became deeper on other levels. I provided members with a homework assignment in which they were to complete an "erasure" poem It's a poem that takes an already established piece of writing and erases unnecessary words to create a new poem. For this particular assignment, I provided members with a selection from A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway. All clients did beautifully with this assignment, even those who often complained of the difficulty they had with writing and forming words and ideas.

In the last week, I asked members for feedback about the group. Members threw many praises out there, but what echoed (附和) most throughout the group was having a voice and having a comfortable space to talk about important issues such as emotions, family, relationships love, grief/ loss, and mental health. What they least liked was having homework assignments.

By far, the most common question I received from other fellow professionals was: How did clients receive the poetry as a whole? The answer was and is: with open arms.

Known as the "roof of the world", the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau (高原) has long been an ideal destination for visitors. With the arrival of spring, here are some of the best tourist destinations in Xizang that might suit your discerning (有眼力的) travel taste.

Peach Blossom Valley, Nyingchi

The annual Nyingchi peach blossom (花朵) festival has become a signature tourism event on the plateau. A great time to visit Nyingchi would usually be from March 20 to April 15. It is more convenient to get a car to drive around the area to view the wild peach forests full of pink petals.

The Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon

The Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon (峡谷) is the deepest canyon in the world. One unique feature of the spring sight here is that visitors can enjoy both the peach blossoms and the snow-capped mountains at the same time. The Peach Blossom Fair is also a sight worthy attraction in the area.

Lulang Scenic Zone

Lulang Scenic Zone contains rich natural scenery. Every year from the middle of April to the beginning of June, with wild flowers blossoming alongside the meandering streams and snowy mountains towering in the backdrop, the whole landscape presents a tranquil and pleasant sight.

Lake Manasarova

Lake Manasarova, sitting 4,500 meters above sea level in Purang county, is a key "climate regulator" on the plateau and home to more than 400 rare species, which attracts a large number of pilgrims (朝圣者) as well as tourists from home and abroad.

I'd been waitressing for months, earning extra money for college. "Since it's not too busy, go and see if Ray wants any more coffee," my boss said to me as he pointed to an older man sitting in the corner.

Ray was holding the cup in his hand as he stared out of the window. He was a re gular lunch customer on Mondays and Fridays.

"Can I refill the cup for you, Ray?" I asked. He looked up with a peaceful smile and held his cup out toward me. "You know, I've been coming here for several years, and I have to say you have the nicest smile," he whispered. "Can you sit for minutes... please?"

I sat down and he smiled,   "Your smile reminds me of my granddaughter, Sharon." He took out a picture of her from his wall et and handed it to me. "She graduated from college last year."

"What a nice-looking girl!" I said. "Does she live near you?"

Ray shook his head as he put the picture back in his wallet. "She moved to California last year. I miss her a lot. She and I used to have lunch together on Monday s and Fridays,"   he said. "She now wants me to move out there to be closer to her."

"So, why don't you?"

"I don't know if I really want to move. I've been here all my life," he answered.

I heard my boss calling me. "I guess that's meant for me," I said as I stood up.

We smiled at each other. "Ray……if my grandfather had been like you, I'd have asked him day and night to move closer to me, too."   I patted his shoulder. "Don't wait too long. Nice talking with you..."

For the next couple of weeks, Ray continued to come on Mondays and Fridays. But on that Monday of Thanksgiving week, he didn't show up. Then one Wednesday afternoon, walking out to my car after work, I heard a voice call my name from across the parking lot.

I was lucky to grow up with my grandparents living with us. As a child, I didn't realize how important that was but, as I got older, I saw firsthand how much care and support they needed. After much reflection, I now understand that caring for the elderly isn't just about doing chores for them. It's about showing them respect, love and attention, as well as (find) the time to do so in a fast-paced and demanding world, a world many of us are time-poor.

My grandparents taught me that older people have a lot of wisdom to share. Their advice offers new perspectives on life, relationships and even success, precisely they've already experienced and navigated many of the struggles we are facing now. For instance, my grandma always reminded me to be patient and listen to others. Over time, I realized just absolutely correct she was.

However, with age (come) challenges. Tasks become more arduous (费力的). For someone who has been self-sufficient most of their life, this can destroy their confidence. We should (remind) of this often. When helping them manage their day, we should ensure that they maintain a sense of independence.

Beyond physical challenges, many elderly people often face loneliness or isolation, especially after losing friends and family over the years. Spending time with the elderly, it's just sitting down to have a conversation or watching TV together, can make an enormous difference. I remember how much my grandma's eyes would light up when we'd sit down to play a board game or chat about my school day. Little moments like show that you care, and they're more important than you might think.

Technology, too, can be a way to connect with them by helping them connect with others. Whether it's teaching them how to use smart devices, reach family over video calls, access services online, these small actions can make them feel like a part of a world that often seems (move) too quickly for them.

When I left school at eighteen, I opened several bank3 and collect numerous store and credit cards. I often4 buying things on my shopping trips that I didn't even want or ever use, just because of the" high" I got from making the purchases. My5 caused a lot of severe problems at home but my parents didn't understand what was going on, and I refused to talk about it — I felt too guilty and6 and usually kept all my possessions out of sight. In the end I left home but I just couldn't7 — I was spending my money on useless things and didn't have enough to8 the expense and bills for my daily life. I had to move back in with my parents and I tried to9 my spending. But I still couldn't10 the habit.

Eventually, I got professional help when I lost my11 because I was out of office shopping all day long. Counseling helped me to discover what12 me a shopping addict, and to set myself weekly13 to change my behavior. I am now successfully rebuilding my life and I'm slowly repaying my14. I am finally aware of who I am and I15 like myself now.

So that's the theory, but what does this look like in our everyday lives? But should we let these experiences block us from letting our guard down in the future? Schopenhauer's advice would probably be "yes".. For example, a review, which analyzed 148 studies involving 308,849 participants, found that individuals with strong social connections have a 50% increased like hood of survival. Additionally, the National Institute on Aging reports that the health risks of long-term isolation (隔离) are equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes a day.

Psychological therapist Hilary Sanders explains chat behaviors like isolation or anger can serve as survival strategies during childhood. While these defenses may provide short-term protection, they can block meaningful connections if they persist.

In conclusion, the natural longing for connection drives us to seek out meaningful relationships, even when we know that weakness can lead to emotional pain. Yes, there are risks in exposing our true selves and emotions, but unlike hedgehogs, humans don't come with the quills built in. So when we learn to lower our defences for safe people, there's a chance we actually can have it all — the warmth of genuine relationships without the fear of being hurt.

A. However, modern research offers a different perspective.

B. This metaphor shows the importance of adaptability in nature.

C. Most of the defensive reactions originate from early experiences.

D. These experiences can make it difficult to trust others in the future.

E. Many people share stories of emotional pain from close relationships.

F. This reflects humans' struggle to balance closeness and self-protection.

G. We have the capacity to choose whom we trust and how we protect our selves.

In 2024 China's State Council issued a policy document on promoting a "silver economy to improve the well-being of the elderly". It called for companies to invest in elder-friendly industries such as smart health care, anti-ageing products, personal pensions and tourism. "Promote theme products such as nostalgic tours and youth tours," it recommended. The state has also called upon local governments to develop better services for old people, such as meal deliveries, at-home health care and cultural enrichment activities.

The focus on silver-haired spenders makes sense. The ageing society will have massive needs — and the coming generation of retirees will have money to spend. The UN estimates that the largest age group, aged 50 — 60, includes 230m people, most of whom will retire in the next decade. "They are the wealthiest sector of society," says Tim Lie of Quantasing, an educational-technology firm that pivoted to focus on the silver economy in 2022.

Older Chinese tend to be more frugal. But the growing groups of those in "new middle age" (45 — 60) and "old age" (over 60) are in a sweet spot in the middle, says Mr Xie. They spent most of their working lives in China's boom years and are retiring with enough time to enjoy their savings. Quantasing has attracted 120m users to its online courses, which help retired people develop hobbies such as calligraphy, meditation and piano. Only 400,000 are paying customers so far, but Quantasing expects that number to grow as it expands into wellness products and tourism.

There are challenges to developing the silver economy. The elderly are susceptible to scams. They will need consumer protection, even as the government encourages firms to sell them as much as possible. Chen Gong of Peking University warns that too many firms may be piling in without enough thorough research. "Many policies are shouting a lot but doing little," he says. Cai Fang of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences points out that more welfare and social services for the elderly are needed. Silver-haired spending is bound to grow. It will be tougher to make sure that the well-being of China's old folks grows along with it.

A supersolid is a unique state of matter governed by the principles of quantum mechanics. In this state, particles form an organized, crystal structure like a solid, yet they can move freely and fluidly like a liquid without stickness. The lack of stickness means that supersolids can quickly pipe themselves out of any containers.

Ordinary solids are typically static and do not move on their own. However, supersolids possess the ability to change direction and density based on particle interactions while still keeping an orderly network structure. The formation of supersolids requires extremely low temperatures, usually close to absolute zero (minus 459.67 degrees Fahrenheit or minus 273.15 degrees Celsius).

While supersolids have been previously created from atomic gases, the recent research employed a novel mechanism involving "polariton (极化子) " systems. Polaritons are multiple particles formed by the strong coupling of light and quasiparticles (准粒子) through electromagnetic interactions. These polaritons can concentrate into the lowest possible energy state, similar to certain atomic gases. Namely, light is combined with matter, and together, they can be condensed into a supersolid.

The study of supersolids is crucial because it allows us to observe the effects of tiny interactions between particles without the interference of temperature. By examining the behavior and characteristics of supersolids, we gain insights into the fundamental ways in which atoms and particles are organized. This knowledge helps us understand the world at a basic level.

With further research and development, supersolids hold great potential for various applications. They could be used in quantum computing, superconductors, frictionless oils, and potentially many other applications that we have yet to imagine. The creation of a supersolid from light represents a significant leap forward in this field.

The Wright children were expected to work hard. When they were young boys, their father Milton brought home a flying toy: a propeller (螺旋桨) made of bamboo and powered by a rubber band. Fascinated with it, the boys began experimenting with it immediately. Their great curiosity was restrained only by their lack of mechanical know-how.

As the boys grew, all mechanical things fascinated them. They were especially interested in bicycles and printing presses. Unfortunately, Susan died in 1889. Later, when the family struggled financially, the brothers dropped out of school and put their hands and minds to work. They published a weekly newspaper and opened a company, selling and repairing bicycles.

The business was successful enough to fund their flying experiments. It's easy to imagine the brothers working long hours on bicycles during the day and assembling propellers, gears and motors in the back workshop in their off time. They spent hours on the beach watching birds glide (滑翔). They made sketches and obsessed over the details of materials, dimensions, rotor spin and weight. Their work continued for more than a decade until they finally developed their dream: an airplane.

When it came time to test their first full-scale model in 1903, their father was anchored to the earth with doubts. He couldn't bear the thought of losing his sons, so he made them promise never to fly together — that is, if their experiment ever got off the ground.

There are always two choices on the shelf when we reach for the milk, cheese or yoghurt: normal or light. Less fat is better, right? But what about the goodness that can be found in dairy — Is it all there in the reduced-fat version? Five experts from various fields were asked if light dairy products were better for our health. Here are their detailed responses.

Caryl Nowson, Nutritionist

Switching from full-fat dairy products to low-fat reduces energy intake, thereby preventing weight gain as well as reducing saturated fat (饱和脂肪) intake. Consumption of saturated fat raises cholesterol (胆固醇) levels in the blood, which increases the risk of heart disease. So reducing saturated fat intake can assist in reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Malcolm Riley, Epidemiologist

Light dairy products are great for people who want to lower their fat intake. They contain most of the nutritional benefits that can be found in full-fat dairy foods, despite containing 25 percent to 100 percent less fat than their regular dairy food equivalents. However, it is important to note that light dairy foods may be higher in some other nutrients, such as sugar. It always pays to read the nutrition tag and the ingredients list carefully.

Nicholas Fuller, Obesity Researcher

Both full-fat and low-fat dairy foods have the same benefits for our heart health. The most important thing is that a person includes dairy products in their diet, or suitable dairy-free alternatives that are calcium-enriched (富含钙质的), such as soy. Until we know for sure the effect of full-fat versus low-fat dairy on our weight and waistlines, people should stick with low-fat products as part of their daily eating plan.

Evangeline Mantzioris, Food Scientist

A recent study which followed people for 22 years found no negative link between heart health and dairy consumption — whether it is full-fat or low-fat dairy. So currently the evidence suggests that light dairy makes no difference in terms of our risk of heart disease and early death. For those who seek to manage their weight, the difference in energy intake may have a significant impact on their success.

Robyn Delbridge, Dietitian

Light dairy foods are not necessarily better than full-fat dairy foods. Overall, evidence supports the conclusion that dairy foods, regardless of fat content, involve a low risk of the potential harmful effects of high blood pressure. Fermented (发酵的) dairy such as yoghurt and cheese may be beneficial for heart health. The choice of full-fat versus that of low-fat foods should be made based on your whole diet pattern.

On a scorching summer afternoon, the Johnson family gathered at the old farmhouse for Grandma's birthday celebration. Tommy and his younger sister Lily, played hide-and-seek and chased each other around an old oak tree in the front yard, its gnarled (多节的) roots creating perfect hiding spots while its massive branches providing shade in this hot weather. The yard smelled of fresh grass and the roses, carefully tended by Grandma, emitted a faint fragrance.

Near dusk, the sky, previously brilliant blue, began to darken ominously (不祥的). Inside, the whole family chatted happily over dinner while sharing Grandma Johnson's delicious apple pies as well as her tales of resilience (恢复力) in the face of adversity (逆境), the air filled with laughter. But as the first rumbles of thunder echoed in the distance, a silence fell over the room.

Suddenly a deafening thunderclap shook the very foundations of the house. Soon rain began to pour down in torrents, as if the heavens themselves had opened up, and the power went out with a lightning, throwing the room into darkness. "This is no ordinary storm," Grandpa muttered in a low and solemn(严肃的) tone, staring out of the window.

With the night approaching, the storm showed no mercy. The wind roared with such intensity that the family could feel the house shaking under the attack. Tommy's younger sister, Lily, held on to her stuffed bunny to her chest, her eyes wide with fear as she buried her face in her mother's shoulder. Her mother wrapped her arms around Lily, rocking her gently back and forth in an attempt to comfort her. The wind howling like a wounded beast outside, Grandma took Tommy's trembling hand in hers, her voice steady and reassuring as she spoke. "Remember, dear, storms don't last forever." Her words became a lifeline for the frightened children.

Then, a thunderous crash echoed through the backyard. "The old oak tree!" Tommy gasped. Grandpa sprang to his feet, determined to assess the damage despite the raging weather. Grandma grabbed his arm, her grip firm."Wait, let me come with you. We'll face it together."
